We have noticed that she is constantly wanting to nip and bite fingers noses whatever. full of energy plays by herself. has attached herself to wife and now i'm #2 - no problem there. What can we do do stop the constant biting and nipping. Fearful it might continue with age. It is now 14 weeks old, wife wanted a lap dog but not one that is constantly trying to jump up and bite face or nose. What should one do.. Secondly when would expect baby teeyth to come out and be replaced with adult ones. Tks. Dave.  |
Teeth over the next few months unless retained then they can be removed during spay/neuter.
Stop all play when nipping happens offer a toy teach you dog to hold a toy and to chew that, I'm a firm beleiver in doggy time out.
Dogs are like toddlers after 3 minutes of time out they've forgotten why they are there and if its not perfectly clear why they are there its not effective.
I've never met a puppy personally that didn't nip or chew until taught not to.
